my new page scraping assignment – getting familiar again with my toolkit
For my new page scraping assignment I thought for a while of trying a much more modern approach. That actually kept me from really starting it for quite a couple of weeks now, because it seemed so very tedious and I thought, I don’t have like 3 shots for it. This week I thought about…

web-sites created with DocBook Website and the trolls all over
A few trolls get along in mailing lists, trying to bash me for the web-sites I created with DocBook Website. I guess they are in the middle of their adolescence, but they let everybody know, that the HTML is shitty. WTF do they care? It looks impressive to ordinary people and potential customers. It’s trivially…

weird error messages during the DocBook Website compilation batch…
Sometimes you really didn’t change anything crucial, and you find the new error messages just too obscure, then do this:$ make clean$ make realclean And most of the time the error messages ar gone. That worked at least for me.

using SVG for graphics within HTML generated from DocBook Website
I learned the hard way, that SVG graphics must get referenced via EMBED, not via IMG. I do that now.But still…I created a “generic logo”. It’s white on a transparent background, the real background determined by the context. That’s the idea. But I found this on the web – now I am confused: How do I…

this was a rather good day DocBookWebsite’ing
Migrated all relevant web-sites to DocBook Website. Simple HTML from DocBook documents looks quite a little different and not so appealing. I can only recommend using DocBook Website.That’s another good reason, why I want to spread the good word of DocBook in Berlin. Have a look at the block “my most exciting web-sites” in the…

DocBook Berlin – created the Google Group for the 1st regional DocBook User Group
I am very excited about this. There is an exploding number of web views on that Google Group. Keep your fingers crossed, that there will be frequent activities soon. DocBook Website is going to revolutionise the activities necessary to set up static and almost static web-sites, it will not stay the gold mine for a few…

editing XML documents in emacs using nxml-mode
One good reason for not not authoring in XML is not having a suitable editor or IDE. I personally use and recommend emacs and James Clark‘s nxml-mode. I create and modify all sorts of XML documents this way. If you supply nxml-mode with the right schema for your document, nxml-mode can even help you with tag completion and document…

creating my 1st DocBook Website web-sites
I have the DocBook XSL book in front of me (opened at “Chapter 31. Website“), asking myself and the world (irc://irc.freenode.net#docbook) silly questions, like the ones, you can find as my recent articles on this blog. I want to change a couple of pretty raw vanilla DocBook web sites to pretty raw but neat vanilla…

DocBook Website – where to get the Relax-NG schema from?
I found it at SourceForge. I really love editing XML in Emacs’s nxml-mode. I did mention that at my DocBook Wiki home page already.
